Pokémon!

[-Ethos-]

Assuming everyone in that list is actually able to get contacted, and nobody scams you by keeping your pokemon, you're looking at finding a "match" 1 in 6.4 times for any random egg.

I suppose this is the biggest issue i see happening with this.

The shiny one grabs the camera and sparkles when they first appear. Plus it was all gold so it looked quite different.

Happen to have any Litwick/Beldum for trade with 4+ iv's? Aint got much I can offer in return, but just checking the waters if you got some you don't need :P

Also looking for a rough skin gible/gabite/garchomp, iv's dont matter. I got Pokémon X, so can give X exclusives for it, or just some other stuff :P Got a few 4iv gastlys and kangaskhans,

So, I finally just gave up on getting a 4iv foreign ditto. I changed up my game plan to get a Male foreign pokemon with 5ivs in each egg group that I can. So far, its going well. Was able to get a male 5iv absol so I can finally continue trying to breed a shiny competitive absol.

I personally wouldn't be too fussed if I got "scammed" a couple times before someone sends back. In the end that egg wouldn't have been a shiny for you anyway, so meh? Just a risk you'll need to take.

I'm MM breeding for a shiny jolly beldum atm. You can have my 5IV beldum when I finally get lucky. It's jolly and just missing special attack so "perfect" even (unless you'd want adamant or something). Let's hope it doesn't take too long anymore for both of us, ugh.

I just got a bunch of foreign ditto's from GTS and got a 3IV one rather quickly. Assuming you only take lvl 30 ones, they're guaranteed 2 IV's and having 3 IV's is roughly 1/8 chance already so not too bad. May want to give it a try. Helps if you got a friend safari with ditto's since they commonly ask for an english ditto back lvl 30.

i did on the gts for two or three days. last night for 3hours. got not one 3iv ditto from the lot. I can actually tell just from a glance what ivs are perfect on a level 30ditto now. You just got really lucky. But like I said, my plans working out very well. Nabbed a magikarp so thats dargon and water 2 egg groups handled.


Got a shiny absol. Sadly not the gender I wanted and its missing attack. How far off its attack is, i dont know.

Got a perfect 6iv absol. Turns out I hatched that long before I hatched the shiny. I got a perfect pokemon before a shiny. Is that good or bad luck?

With gen VI breeding mechanics, getting 5/6 snd 6/6 pokemons has gotten much easier than before. So if you have been doing the breeding right, I'd say getting 6/6 is much more likely than getting a shiny, which is still pure RNG luck.

can confirm 6/6 IVs is waaaaay easier than a shiny. I've gotten two perfect mons so far and yet I have bred several hundred through masuda method and still haven't seen a single shiny

Has anyone got a Loudred in their friend safari? kinda want to experiment with a scrappy boomburst exploud! =D

The anime taught me that i can keep it a bellsprout and just train it really well and it'll be awesome. Yeah.

So not sure if this has been put up here, but pokemon.com has put up the first 3 episodes of the Pokemon: Origins special, all dubbed, with the fourth set to go up this Friday.

Here's the link: http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episode...6d600a5b97036b

Skarmory of tyranitar, hmmmmm

I had a skarmory take three thunders from my galvantula, so I'm thinking skarmory due to tyranitar's 4x fighting weakness

I am somewhat skeptical of that statement. Skarmory's Sp. Def is pretty shitty. Unless it was roosting off the Thunder damage, I can't see it taking 3 thunders to the face. Although, Skarmory is a great physical wall.

omg I loved that episode, I wanted a bellsprout from that moment on.

[Zanito44]

Anyone else have their list of deadly Pokemon? Aside from saying all of them.

Magcargo is a great example of what happens when you start pulling big numbers out of your ass just because they sound cool...
